“Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate. What's one thing that we have in our lives that we can depend on? A dog loving us unconditionally, every day, very faithfully.” -Jon Katz #frenchbulldog#dogsofinstagram#mansbestfriend#lucy#happyfriday

Welcoming your new puppy home is an exciting event but it can also be a stressful one. Fortunately, you can make it less so by following a few simple tips.
Ease Your Puppy Into His New Home
You should plan to puppy-proof your home before bringing in your new pup, so that he has a safe place to call home. If possible, bring him home at the beginning of a weekend or vacation, so you don't have to dash off to work the next day. And as tempting as it may be to invite all your friends to meet the new family member, now is not the time to confuse him further. Give him some time to get familiar with his new family and to start bonding with you. There will be plenty of time for him to meet everyone else later.
If you have other pets, you'll want to make sure your veterinarian gives your pup a clean bill of health before you expose him to the rest of the household pets. Then introduce the new puppy to them gradually. The best way to introduce dogs is away from your home, so the original dog won't feel territorial. If the new puppy knows how to walk on a leash, walking the dogs side by side is a good way to let them get to know one another. Bring lots of treats for your older dog and be liberal with them in exchange for his good behavior. Give the older dog plenty of attention to help prevent any jealousy.
Once you bring both dogs into the house, it may be a good idea to keep them separated unless you're supervising.

Alexander Jacob aka A.J. Is Jaxon’s litter mate. He is soooo sweet! His mom said, “A.J. got electrocuted sometime in November and I was unaware. My aunt immediately put him on meds but was unaware of the damage. I got A.J. December 28th 2018. He immediately knew he was home. Jaxon & A.J. are great together except when there are treats around and it’s bed time. Lol. A.J. Hogs the bed and my lap now. I still make time for Jaxon as I sit in the floor with him and he chews his toy.” Swipe left to see how A.J. felt about getting his picture taken!

Never too far from daddy. Happy Friday, everyone! We have a quiet weekend at home planned. Daddy is actually going out of town, so I’ll have a lot of Mommy snuggle time. Can’t wait! .
